Scratch the Midwest beer tasting tour, it just so happens that quite a few of the beers I tried happen to be from Wisconsin. So here goes one of my favorites from the tasting, Capital Brewery’s Limited Release Autumnal Fire.
Autumnal Fire is a rich dopplebock that has won several awards by Beverage Testing Institute World Beer Championships, GABF and North American Brewers Association.
Autumnal Fire pours a dark copper/amber color. It has the aroma of caramel malt, slightly burnt and hints of spice. It is a sweeter beer, not sweet beer, perhaps a hit of cherry, but it may also be the 7.8% ABV, there’s my guess.
I would pair this beer with desserts, and of course, sitting my the fire, and cozy up with a warm blanket.
